okay I am going to try and help you learn this.

It is going to be  6.899 multiplied by 10 to the power of something.  (exactly 1 non-zero digit in front of the point)

If 0.0006899 is more than one then the power will be positive.  If it is less then 1 then the power will be negative.  So what is it going to be + or - ?

Now: How many numbers does the point have to jump over to get from where it stated to where it needs to be?   That is your power.  What is it ?

Now you do it and tell me what you think the answer is.
